The US Population Could Shrink in 2025, For the First Time Ever

An anonymous reader shares a report: The United States is on the precipice of a historic, if dubious, achievement. If current trends hold, 2025 could be the first year on record in which the US population actually shrinks. The math is straightforward.

Lawsuit Says Amazon Prime Video Misleads When You 'Buy' a Long-Term Streaming Rental
